Why Is My Mac Zoomed In

broken image


The zoom is equivalent to 'pinch / spread zoom.' It seems to get activated if my fingers brush the mouse (Apple Magic Mouse) while reaching across (say, to grap a coffee cup). Cmd-0 resets it (just as with the double-touch 'Smart Zoom'). But it's annoying (just as with 'Smart Zoom'). And I can't find any way to turn it off. To zoom out, slide your fingers together on the trackpad. If you have a Mighty Mouse, you can also use these shortcut swipes. On Mac as well as PC, you can select the Control and - or + keys to zoom in or out, respectively. Change the Resolution on My Mac To change the resolution on your Mac, open System Preferences and click Display.

Sounds like you have Apple's Accessibility feature, Zoom, enabled. You can toggle Zoom off using the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-8.

If that doesn't work, check the settings in the Accessibility Preference Pane:

  1. Click on the Apple Menu in the upper left corner of your screen and select System Preferences.
  2. Click on the Accessibility icon.
  3. Select Zoom in the Seeing section in the left sidebar. Check the various settings for the Zoom preference and remove or add check boxes to reflect the settings you would like.
  4. The icons shown for the keyboard shortcuts in the Accessibility Preference Pane are:
    1. for Command/Apple
    2. ^ for Control
    3. for Option.
  5. Close out of System Preferences.

Apple's website has more information about the Accessibility Preference Pane on their Accessibility support webpage. Opera 11 for mac.

My Display Is Zoomed In

About five minutes ago, while I was using a four-finger trackpad shortcut, the screen suddenly zoomed in about a half inch or so. Now, everything is just slightly lower resolution and my screen is too small to show everything. For example, the date and time in the upper right corner is halfway off the side of the screen. All my desktop icons are slightly larger.

I don't know anything about setting screen resolutions, but I found the display preference and its set for the max 1680x1050. (Seems I remember this once going up to 1080, but maybe I'm mistaken.)

Regardless, my screen is now looking goofy. How do I get it back? And what might I have done to cause this? I don't remember hitting any errant keys of commands, other than using four fingers on the trackpad for a certain function.
